I make relevant figures by providing clients with just that as a solo dev. My favorite story is the client that came to me after a superstar dev made them a one pager with Vue, Atomic design and so on. Name a framework buzzword, and that onepager had it. The client was desperate because the superstar Dev billed them 15k and then disappeared because his pre-booked hours where depleted and he didn't have any more capacity. I rewrote the entire site in HTML + CSS + Javascript (all static) in 3 days in order to be live. Then I just turned everything into a simple custom Wordpress Theme so that they could change this or that image and text in a backend they knew. Charged the client 5k (cheap for them, fair for me for a 4-day max project) and they were happy and thankful beyond any possible imagination. I am not a superstar dev, I don't know all the frameworks, but I know how to structure content thanks to my larger professional background in media. I strongly believe that interpreting and guiding a client's wishes and goals is more important than what you build with. If anything, "latest and shiniest" or "exaggerated abstraction" is almost never good for mid-size business with regular needs. That's a massive market with a lot of value to go around.
